The 8-BA Flathead Distributor is supplied with a special die to help set up the hold down clamp.
These distributors are built around a CNC-machined billet aluminum housing and features a maintenace-free magnetic pickup so there are no points to worry about. A precision reluctor is mounted to a QPQ-coated steel shaft
which is guided by a sealed ball bearing for accurate timing signals throughout the entire rpm range.
The distributors also offer an easy-to-adjust mechanical advance assembly. Chromoly weights move smoothly on nylon pads and different advance springs and stop bushings are supplied so you can custom tailor a timing curve to match your engine's requirements.
The best thing about this distributor is that it features an ignition module that is built into the billet aluminum housing.
